Device and method for recovering moisture in the atmosphere

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for recovering moisture present in the atmosphere. The device comprises a collection structure with a water recovery surface which during use at least partly makes an angle with respect to the orientation of gravity. Further, the collection structure is detachably couplable to a reservoir for storing the recovered moisture. In addition, the collection structure is nestable.

1. A device for recovering moisture present in the atmosphere, comprising a collection structure for collecting moisture present in the atmosphere, wherein the collection structure is provided with a water recovery surface which during use at least partly makes an angle with respect to the orientation of gravity, wherein the collection structure is provided with an upstanding edge bounding lower parts of the water recovery surface, the device further comprising a tube for at least partly sideways surrounding a young plant placeable in the collection structure, wherein the upstanding edge forms the upper edge of the tube. 
     
     
       2. The device according to  claim 1  wherein the collection structure is detachably couplable to a reservoir for storing the recovered moisture, wherein the collection structure is nestable. 
     
     
       3. The device according to  claim 1 , wherein the tube is couplable onto the collection structure. 
     
     
       4. A device for recovering moisture present in the atmosphere, comprising a collection structure for collecting moisture present in the atmosphere, wherein the collection structure is provided with a water recovery surface which during use at least partly makes an angle with respect to the orientation of gravity,
 and a reservoir for storing recovered moisture is provided with a replenishment opening in operative association with the collection structure. 
 
     
     
       5. The device according to  claim 4 , wherein the replenishment opening is accessible via the collection structure. 
     
     
       6. The device according to  claim 4 , wherein the replenishment opening is located at least one of near a tube for at least partly sideways surrounding a young plant placeable in the collection structure and near the lowest point of the water recovery surface. 
     
     
       7. The device according to  claim 4 , wherein the replenishment opening is formed by a recess of the plate-shaped structure arranged modularly above the reservoir, which recess aligns with a recess in the collection structure. 
     
     
       8. The device according to  claim 4  wherein the collection structure is detachably couplable to the reservoir for storing the recovered moisture, wherein the collection structure is nestable. 
     
     
       9. A device for recovering moisture present in the atmosphere, comprising a collection structure for collecting moisture present in the atmosphere, wherein the collection structure is provided with a water recovery surface which during use at least partly makes an angle with respect to the orientation of gravity, and
 wherein the water recovery surface comprises an overflow structure on the water recovery surface to discharge an excess of collected moisture from the water recovery surface outwardly. 
 
     
     
       10. The device according to  claim 9 , further comprising the collection structure being provided with an upstanding edge bounding lower parts of the water recovery surface and wherein the overflow structure has an overflow pathway of which the highest path, viewed in the direction of gravity, is lower than a top of the upstanding edge. 
     
     
       11. The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the overflow pathway forms a path from lower parts of the water recovery surface to outside a side edge of the device. 
     
     
       12. The device according to  claim 9  wherein the collection structure is detachably couplable to a reservoir for storing the recovered moisture, wherein the collection structure is nestable.
